Golllleee - I love an old fashioned winter (but really prefer a new fangled spring). We are in between today's 5" snow and tomorrows 12" dump. And the temp is way up at a moderate 15* Icicles, long uns, are hanging off the roof for the first time in several years my tractor is making strange noises until it warms up ----- just another wintry day that I can putter with on car

WE ARE EXPECTING ABOUT 16 TO 19 INCHES WITH BLOWING SNOW ??wtf I LIVE ON LAKE ERIE AND REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME THE LAKE WAS FROZE AND WE GOT A FOOT AND A HALF OF SNOW ALONG WITH A STRONG WIND ,,I DID NOT FIND MY CAR TILL SPRING

They are saying 18+ in some spots I went out and plowed the drive at 6pm so wife could get in from work and you can't even tell a truck was out there. Glad she has 4 wheel drive in the suburban

The heck with Gore, I'm going with "PHIL" - at least he has a 40% accuracy record !

Sounds good to me! Got to trust Phil more the Al..

DUNKIRK, NY (WBFO) - Sleet and snow made for an interesting morning for two famous ground hogs forecasters. Nationally, in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, Phil emerged around dawn. It was his 125th annual weather prediction and Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow, predicting an early spring.

Phil made his prediction before thousands who braved the stormy conditions at Gobbler's Knob. In his years of predictions, Phil has spotted his shadow 98-times, but not Wednesday.

But here in Western New York, we have our own friendly rodent predictor -- Dunkirk Dave. The Dunkirk ground hog is considered the world's second longest predictor.

At about 7:30 a.m. Wednesday, Dave emerged from his hole in Dunkirk, NY. He didn't see his shadow either. His handler, Bob Will of Dunkirk tells WBFO News that means Dave is predicting early spring weather.

"The ground hog did not see his shadow. There was no sun," said Will.

"It started to rain. This was about 7:30 this morning in Dunkirk, very heavy rain, and it was below freezing. So it was very unusual, never happen before on ground hog day, and I had to call for an umbrella to hold over everybody out there over the ground hog because everything was getting soaked....including the food...I know some people were going to say well that's going to give you a false reading... but we got the reading before we put the umbrella over him," said Will.

This was Dunkirk Dave's 59th prediction. But through the years, there have been several different Dunkirk Dave's that Will has cared for. His favorite treat was a granola bar.

"This morning he was very calm and walked around, eat different cookies and cereal we had out there. He had a good old time," said Will.

Dunkirk Dave has had a 90% plus accuracy.

Punxsutawney Phil for President...

Buttttttt - not too many miles from either Phil or Dave..........

Weathers a bit raw for camping isnt it Dave??
Hey,does this mean the first NASCAR race will see chains on the cars??

Over here in So'eastern Mass it's getting to the point that we can't let the dogs out on their own cause the fence is now about 4 inches tall!

How much snow is too much? This the lastest snowfall here, our toy poddle,"Pippan", (manly name,eh?),is enjoying it on our deck this morning.
Listening to the news about the weather in Australia,made me think this isn't so bad.
